Yes, people another chappie ^,^ Enjoy.

I woke up the next morning and my arms around a pillow... and not Rapunzel. I sat up and looked under the sheets and called out "Rapunzel?" She wasn't any where in the bed. I looked around the room like crazy. "Rapunzel?" I called out looking under the bed. "Rapunzel?" I said checking in the closet. "Rapunzel?" I said checking under a lamp. "Rapunzel?" I said checking inside an empty cookie jar.

I scratched my head and looked in the mirror, I completely forgot my hair was still brown. I sighed and the door opened I got startled and clutched my chest to see their stood John. "Oh I- I mean- Did I do- Wait- I mean- No uh- Where's Rapunzel?" I managed. He said "Down stairs waiting for you to join us at breakfast. Please come... we have matters to discuss." With that said he was gone. I was about to march right out when Rapunzel came bursting through the door and I got so startled I yelped. She laughed and said "Hurry!" She noticed the heart attack she gave me and she rushed grabbing my wrist and then my staff and dragged me down stairs into the dining room.

Her mother sat by her father and Rapunzel sat down next to me. John started "So I understand you wish to leave with Rapunzel this afternoon." "Uh y-yes sir." I studdered. Anna said "You realize that you are taking away the one thing we truly always cared about? Don't you?" A lump formed in my throat and I said "Y-yes ma'am I realize that."

John stood up slamming his fists against the table Anna snapped "John What are-" "I will not allow this!" John shouted. "I have my daughter back and she's deciding to run off with some boy! Not even a man! He can barely defend himself! This is something I can not tolerate! Much less allow!" Suddenly my body stiffened. "This BOY is not capable of defending my daughter from any kind of danger out there!" Anna tried to calm him down but he continued. "If MY daughter is going to run off with someone then it will be of my choosing! Not a scrawny boy!"

My fear dissapeared and turned to anger. I stood up slamming my staff on the ground and a heavy wind spread across the room and caused utencils to fly. "Okay, I get it! I look pathetic and not worthy to protect your daughter! I get the concept! You don't know what I am capable of! You don't know me nor what I've been through! I may not be worthy of being in your presence your majesties, but I know I am capable of defending Rapunzel! And if I AM NOT capable of defending myself it is because I am doing my absolute best to defend her! I could care less what happens to me! As long as she's safe then that's my strength! And if you think other wise then I wish you the absolute best!" Left breathless with out another word I flew out of the room and back to the room upstairs.

I went to the restroom and washed the cheap dye out of my hair. I looked in to the mirror to see my hair was snow white again, and I also noticed tears where in my eyes.

I am capable of defending her... No one can tell me other wise. I have defended her before, haven't I?... No! Don't let those things come into your head, Jack! You are capable of defending her! Even if it means with your entire life! You CAN do it! And you WILL do it!

My thoughts were interrupted when Rapunzel knocked on the door "Jack?" she asked. "Y-Yeah Rapunzel?" I said in a shaky tone. "Please come out, Jack." she pleaded. Withouta response I walked out and came face to face with her. She touched my face and smiled " Was all that true?" she asked. "Of course, Rapunzel. I'd give my life to have you here by my side... I love you so much..." She gave me a small kiss and said "Then don't worry about it, we're leaving right now." "What about-" "He understand Jack... He just wanted to see if you were what he was expecting." she cut me off.

We went back downstairs and John and Anna stood at the front door. John stepped forward as Anna expressions changed once they saw my hair. John was the first to speak "Jack... You are a strange boy I admit it. Yes I know nothing about you... but I do know you are perfect for my daughter... So please watch out for her." "I will sir. Thank you." I said bowing my head. Anna stepped in and hugged me and whispered "Take good care of her and promise us that you will visit from time to time." "I promise." I said smiling. They embraced Rapunzel a final time, before we left. Rapunzel didn't seem so broken up about it.

I carried her bridal style and took off.

"Rapunzel are you sure about this?" I asked. She looked at me and said "Yes, Jack, I am positive." "I mean you're not even sad you're leaving your family?" I asked. She said "Of course I am Jack but... I can't show it. There's more pain to come and I must learn to control it."

I wanted to say so much more, so many things, but I didn't want to make it any harder on her than it already was. "Let's go to the North Pole, Rapunzel." I smiled. And we took off arriving shortly we walked in to a room and saw everyone there. North was working with several tools and Sandy, Bunnymund, and Tooth were helping ."Welcome back!" greeted North with his heavy accent. He knocked over a few tools and a saw grazed his arm. "Ah!" Tooth exclaimed. She rushed over but crahsed with Sandy and were sent rolling into a shelf head first. Bunny stood frozen afraid to move, but took the chance and slipped on a screw driver and hit hid head on the table and his hand landed in a small pile of nails. He screamed out in pain.

Rapunzel touched the floor and watched in disbelief. "That happened really quick." was all she could say. "Too quick." I added. We helped all the guardians to their feet. North looked at the cut on his arm but didn't see it as anything serious. "Does it hurt?" asked Rapunzel looking at the wound. "No not really." North said smiling.

Bunny, Sandy, and Tooth all rubbed their heads complaining about the pain. Tooth actually drew a few drops of blood on impact. Bunny's paw bled a bit because the nails. Sandy didn't seem to be saying anything about the pain, literally.

I looked at Rapunzel and got an idea. "Hey Rapunzel why don't you try to heal them?" I asked. She said "I can't Jack, my hair lost it's power remember?" I looked at her "Come on you're a guardian now remember? You can try at least, right?" I encouraged her.

She took a deep breath and let it out. "Alright I'll try." she said confidently. She placed her hands on North's wound. He looked at her and said "Go you can do it, Rapunzel." She smiled and began to sing.

At first nothing was happening, but then when she said "Heal what has been hurt." Her hair began to glow, but not the brilliant gold like when she had her hair. It was a brilliant white, when her eyes opened as she kept singing her eyes were blue. Bunny came closer reaching out with his injured hand to touch her hair. A trail of light floated towards his hand and wrapped around it. He watched in amazement as his cuts slowly closed and healed. Tooth rushed over and another trail of light it touched her cut. In seconds Rapunzel finished singing and her hair went brown again and eyes green, but a small white streak stayed in her hair.

I dropped my staffand my jaw followed. Silence fell and Bunny was the first to speak. "Hey look at this mates." He extended his once injured palm and a small purple flower lay there. Tooth said "I have the same thing." she had a small pink flower in her palms. Rapunzel watched in astonishment "It actually worked..." she said slowly. North said "Welcome to our newest guardian..."

The next thing happening was Yetis and elves burst through the doors with their trumpets and lit batons. Cheers went up all over the room and we found ourselves shortly celebrating... Celebrating to the newest member of the family... Rapunzel.
